Remember when Joe Biden said, mark my words, it would not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama and that it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right. Who knew that Biden was talking about Obama handling the economy as well? Biden admits that the Obama Administration misread the tea leaves. To the contrary Joe, not everyone misread the economy, many believed that the stimulus package was not more than pork in sheeps clothing.

“We misread how bad the economy was, but we are now only about 120 days into the recovery package,” Biden added. More jobs will be created in coming months, he said.

Biden noted that the $787 billion economic stimulus package was set up to spend the money over 18 months. Major programs will take effect in September, including $7.5 billion for broadband Internet service, plus new money for high-speed rail and the nation’s electrical grid, he said.

Biden said it’s premature to say whether the country will need a second stimulus package.

As stated at The Strata-Sphere, Biden all but admitted that the $787 billion liberal pork stimulus package passed in February was never mean to create any jobs until the Fall and well into next year. So all the jobs that Obama and his minions promised to create immediately was really bunk. Is it any wonder that unemployment continues to rise. This stimulus package was portrayed by Obama to create jobs now, not 18 months later.

Later Biden promised job creation is coming now that the needed contracts are finally being put in place (t- 3.50 minutes). This is the third 3rd admission that there was no way the stimulus bill could create jobs any earlier than September, and not in any great number until after that.

There you have it – the administration’s mea culpa. They knew damn well the government bureaucracy was too sluggish to get the money out into the economy quickly. They had to rush the bill before the media exposed their little white lies.

Exit Question: What else will this Administration misread? Also, is not this the same people who criticized the Bush Administration for getting the help to Hurricane Katrina victims too slow? What are they waiting for, unemployment to reach 11%?

UPDATE I:Paul Krugman can defend the Obama White House all he wants with charts, pie graphs and analysis. The fact of the matter is that Obama and his minions openly went out to the American people and stated that this pork stimulus plan would create new jobs now. Not in the Fall and not in 2010, but now. Common sense would say to any independently thinking person that a $787 billion stimulus was rushes into law to help the economy now. It would have to address the recession problem sooner rather than later. However, this was not a stimulus package, it was a pork give away.

How clueless are they? It is obvious the unemployment rate will keep climbing at this rate.

Old Joe was not chosen for his superior intellect.
He is simply another talentless actor in this awesome
Political Play that could be viewed as an award winning
Comedy if it weren’t in fact such a terrible Tragedy!

No amount of taking away our future earnings to pay for those who’ve mismanaged their money will ever do any good. A 10 yr old who can add and subtract could have explained THAT to Obama!!!

How many zeros in a billion?
This is too true to be funny.

The next time you hear a politician use the
word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending
YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of it’s releases.

A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth.

E.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain…
let’s take a look at New Orleans …
It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

GREAT POST…….And O wants more of our money to spend with the cap and trade and whatever else they can get congress to pass.

Also don’t forget the new global tax to the UN for 785 BILLON DOLLARS. Which did not go to congress. Its a done deal.

The end of the USA as we knew it. That’s why the election was so important. We may not make it to the next one.

#9 – That’s funny…only in that you’d believe it. This email has been going around since 2004 or so – but I see Katrina added in. Did ya get that $5000 from Bill Gates yet? Lol.

It’s hard to get past these idiot emails when the very first item is 100% false: “A billion seconds ago it was 1959.”

Huh???? no it wasn’t – it’s 1977

First thing, first falsehood. Oh, and b,c,d and ‘e’ are false as well.

- “We had absolutely no national debt…” – Uh…it was almost $10 Billion

- We had the largest middle class in the world…(uh…not even close)

- There is no federal inheritance tax.

Cigarette Tax
Liquor Tax
Property Tax
Real Estate Tax
School Tax
All those taxes, in one form or another, were around 100 years ago.

And taxes on things that did no exist 100 years ago were obviously not around 100 years ago.

But I’m sure what you and the republicans want to get back to is:
- A hundred years ago we had our own Apartheid system, called Jim Crow.
- We denied the right to vote to more than half the adult population

Did you know:
- 100 years ago we didn’t keep one of the world’s largest standing armies, nor devote trillions to exotic weapons systems which might never be used, nor spent a trillion or two in an unnecessary war in the Middle East.
- 100 years ago nobody inspected meat, drugs, or anything else that you put in your body, and life-expectancy has improved 40% since then.
- 100 years ago there were almost no paved roads. How do you think those are paid for?
- 100 years ago there was no FBI and no CIA. Perhaps you’d like to do without them?
- 100 years ago there was no Social Security and 50% of elderly Americans lived in poverty. Yes, so much better 100yrs ago.
- 100 years ago much of the country didn’t have a paid police force.
- 100 years ago most of the country’s fire departments were volunteer rather than professional.

It could go on and on and on…..

And what the heck does “Mom stayed home to raise the kids” have to do with anything?
Guess you think times were better when women couldn’t do anything other than stay home barefoot and pregnant, cooking and cleaning for men.

Give me a f-ing break NewGirl.

NewGirl – why don’[t you move to some far off 3rd world country where you don’t have to pay any of these “horrible” taxes and can enjoy a wonderful 19th century lifestyle.
I’m sure it’ll suit you and others here quite well.

FYI – the government just levied The Moron Tax on you.

He yoyo…New Girl, Steve, myself, and the rest of us who agree with her post won’t need to move to a 3rd world country, Obama is making sure we’ll be in one right here in the U.S.A.

I can see your mom didn’t do much “raising” where you are concerned…and it’s truly sad you look down upon the most wonderful a woman can do which is raise children and care for the family she loves.

You are a reminder to us of the enemy within our boarders of which there are way too many.

any child of 5th grade education can get that moron yoyo’s post that has nothing to do with nothing as usual. As usual, like most liberals, pussy foot and dance around the EXACT issues only to bring up things that have no relevance; only trying to confuse….

yoyo – we all get it, you live in that dump called California, its’ no wonder you support federal policies that mirror California’s….people leaving in drones; state giving IOU’s (HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA); prop 8 voted AGAINST (LOL)…. let me guess…you are a beaner that snuck across the border and now thinks the government owes you something…dead on! IF NOT, I doubt you’d give up your job to give it someone who is jobless….highly doubt it, but that’s what liberals want you to do except in the case when they have to do it….

Doesn’t matter what has been going around since 2004. If you don’t think govt. spending is out of control, you must be living in the twilight zone.
